Hats off to you! (knit and crochet)

So as the weather turns colder my thoughts turn to warm woolies. I find knitting hats is a great way to get quick gratification!

In this swap, you will have one partner. Please send a pattern for one hat (PLEASE check their profile or the discussion to see if they knit or crochet, or if they have a preference if they do both). It's great if you can send a pattern you have already made yourself, but if they knit and you crochet, your local yarn shop can recommend one, and hat patterns are not too expensive.

In addition, please send them the yarn they need to make the hat. Usually a hat only needs one skein (or partial skeins if multicolored) so again, it should not be a big investment. Please send nice yarn that you would use yourself.

You do not need to worry about getting exactly the perfect colors or style for your partner (hey, a handmade hat makes a great gift if they colors aren't right for you), but do check for your partner's allergies, we don't want any rashy hands!

I will ban anyone who looks dodgy, but really the idea is to have fun. So that's it--send one partner one hat pattern and the yarn to make it with!
